'THEN SHE FOUND ME' The simple dramedy "Then She Found Me" isn't the kind of thing we usually see at the start of the summer film season. This is the time of year when big stars (Cameron Diaz) and superheroes ("Iron Man") take us as far away from reality as possible. That's why a movie like "Then She Found Me," with all its complicated emotions and messy relationships, stands out for...

"Then She Found Me," directed by actress Helen Hunt, is a chick flick, in the sense that its engine is inextricably female -- not in typical ad-agency fashion, but in ways that are messy, complicated and contradictory.

If you're not of a mind to see movies about talking lions and CGI race cars this weekend, let me suggest some worthy alternatives: Son of Rambow , How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer , Then She Found Me , Forgetting Sarah Marshall -- and, yes, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay .

... Poehler. Female comedy teams are exceedingly rare in movies. Thelma and Louis could be funny, but then they drove over that cliff. Lily Tomlin and Bette Midler were a great match in “Big Business;” they even had that fat/thin visual thing favored by endless male comic teams. But they have yet to do another movie together.

What's wrong with Helen Hunt's appearance in Then She Found Me is not that she looks terrible -- pinched emotionally as well as physically -- but that Colin Firth keeps telling her she looks wonderful.
